Tea on Plains
The green tea which is planted on the plains near the sea in Kagoshima that SAKURAJIMA selects is “Chirancha” 「知覧茶」 from “Oritaen tea plantation” which is outstanding for its sweet, intense flavor. Most Chirancha is manufactured in the same way as Fukamushi Sencha「深むし煎茶」 using the method of deep steaming, resulting in beautiful dark green tea.
Green tea which is planted on plains will get long hours of daylight. The temperature during the day and the temperature at night are not much different. Consequently, the tea will be rich in nutrients which give out flavors such as catechin and amino acids, which explains why the tea has intense flavor.
Chirancha is the high quality tea which is well-known in Japan.
The tea from Kagoshima Seicha Co., Ltd. or “Biroen”, Kagoshima’s famous brand which has been around for the longest time, is the balanced combination of outstanding features of tea on mountains and tea on plains from different plantations across Kagoshima, resulting in the product which is highly popular among Japanese people.
SAKURAJIMA selects quality green tea which has unique characteristics of each area to present to you so that you can choose the flavors of green tea that suit your preferences. You can try our tea at the store or contact us by phone.
